Benefits of technology
The patent text defines certain terms related to control and inclusion. The technical effect of these terms is that they enable the inclusion of various components without limitation and can be used in conjunction with each other to create complex systems. The text also mentions the use of controllers to manage and control the operation of various components within the system. These controllers can be implemented in hardware, firmware, software, or some combination of them.
Problems solved by technology
Although for similar industrial cases, e.g. similar parts or similar features within parts, similar machining methods are defined by the CAM engineer, especially if she / he works within the same company, in reality in most industrial scenario there is unfortunately still too little re-usage of previous CAM programs.

example embodiment
[0033]An example embodiment is described below, illustrated also through Tables 1 to 4.
[0034]Historical three-dimensional (3D) model (e.g. CAD) files of parts to be manufactured and their corresponding machining CAM program files are provided as input to the data processing system. The CAD files comprise a 3D model description of a part with one or more features. The CAM program files include a description of the set of machining methods for manufacturing the parts with their features.
[0035]Historical CAD files and their corresponding CAM programs of this example were previously defined by CAM engineers. Table 1 comprises n example historical files with 3D representations of parts with corresponding machining methods usable in a manufacturing facility.

A machining method is provided for manufacturing a feature in a part. Feature data are received that describe a feature to be manufactured and include a type and a set of attributes of the feature. Machining method data are received that describe a machining method for manufacturing an associated feature. Machining methods associated with features of a given type are analyzed in order to define a set of ranges of feature attributes where the machining methods are applicable. A set of ranking values are assigned to each machining method for ordering machining methods. Data of an additional feature to be manufactured is received, the type of the additional feature being the given type and the set of attributes is a specific set. A set of machining methods is selected and at least one machining method is provided based on its assigned ranking value to be associated with the additional feature.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present disclosure is directed, in general, to computer-aided design (“CAM”), visualization, and manufacturing systems, (“CAM”) systems, product lifecycle management (“PLM”) systems, product data management (“PDM”) systems, and similar systems, that manage data for products, production methods, and production execution and other items (collectively, “Product Data Management” systems or PDM systems). More specifically, the disclosure is directed to virtual tools for manufacturing planning and manufacturing verification, and manufacturing machine controller tools.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]In the field of industrial manufacturing, in order to machine a part with one or more features, detailed machining methods need to be defined. As used herein the term “part” denotes manufacturing parts to be machined, and the term “feature” denotes a shape to be manufactured in the part. Examples of features of a part include, but are not limited to, a hole, a step-n-...
